Human rights’ inquiry calls for stronger rights for care home visitors
Stronger rights for care home visitors forms a key part of the recommendations of a new report from 
the Joint Committee on Human Rights.
In its latest report – Protecting human rights in care settings – committee members call on Government to secure the right for care users to nominate at least one individual to visit and provide care and support, subject to the same infection prevention and control rules as care staff.
Additionally, the CQC must make compliance with visiting restrictions a key consideration when undertaking its regulatory and monitoring roles.
